Notes: 

Temple is reluctant to go in, but the other two manage to persuade her. Temple goes in and walks right down the hall to the back porch. She sees Pap sat in a chair in the sun and steps out onto the porch to introduce herself. She sees that his eyes are "like dirty yellowish clay marbles'"(43); out of fear she screams for Gowan, and turns to run back into the house. Popeye, standing inside the door of a room that leads onto the back porch, tells her that Gowan can't hear her. Temple runs off the porch in fright and falls into a heap of garbage. She scrambles back onto the porch and runs into the kitchen where Ruby Lama sits smoking.

Summary: 

Tommy, Gowan and Temple reach the Old Frenchman Place.
